'Blades and Saints games could be a turning point'
'After a long-term injury, to commit my future to the club was something I was really on board with' - Wharton

Blackburn Rovers defender Scott Wharton says the upcoming games against Sheffield United and Southampton could provide "a turning point" for the club.
Rovers suffered a 2-0 loss to Coventry City on Saturday despite possessing a higher xG than the league leaders (1.02 to the Sky Blues' 0.87), placing them into the bottom three on the Championship table.
"We had a game plan, we produced it, we just didn't put the ball in the net and that's a thing in football you need to do to win games," Wharton told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"We do need a win for the group I think, just to give everyone a boost and the confidence. Hopefully that can change our momentum.
"These two next home games, if we pick up some good results, hopefully two wins, can be a real turning point for us."
The 28-year-old, who is making his comeback from a long-term knee injury sustained in April 2024, recently signed a new three-year contract with the club.
"After a long-term injury, to commit my future to the club was something I was really on board with," he said.
"I was delighted and I still think I can produce for this club and bring something to the table, on and off the pitch."
